rundeck

Rundeck won't start after patching (RHEL 7.8 latest patches added today)

Here is my error. Comes with a stacktrace but guessing this will be good enough. This project worked fine before the patches.

Solution

  • That's related to how Rundeck 3.3.X interprets the project description after an instance upgrade, a good way to solve it is back to rundeck 3.2.X, edit the projects descriptions without "special characters" and update to Rundeck 3.3.1 again. You can add your issue to this GitHub thread.
